An Unseen FriendThe play features Elwood P. Down, a kind, amiable man with an imaginary friend named Harvey. If that wasn't strange enough, Harvey just happens to be a six-foot, three-and-a-half-inch tall rabbit.

Elwood's eccentricities drive his sister Veta to the edge of despair when he insists on introducing his unseen companion to guests at her society party. At the end of her rope, she decides to have Elwood committed. When Veta tries to explain the situation to the doctors at the sanitarium, confusion causes her to be committed instead.
